Hi All,

We have a 64 bit Windows server 2003.

Where we have deployed our application, everything works fine on development environment which is on 32 bit.

However, when we deploy on live server which is on 64 bit, VS2008,(I am using OLEDB driver and have tried using option x64) I get an error "Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0 provider is not registered on the local machine"

Thanks & Regards,
Jeevan.

As fas as I know, Jet is not supported for 64 bit. There might be some work arounds however. Try the suggestions found here:

Solution 2

To run ASP.NET in 32bit mode, you will need to run IIS in 32bit mode too.
(You cannot run them (32 and 64) at the same time)

To switch See Here[^] for the MS Advice.
